Potatoes Can Be Made Into 'Gas', Chemists Say
Potatoes, wheat, and other products containing starch, can be used to increase the quantity of our gasoline supply, stated R. Q. Brewster, upon his return from the annual meeting of the National Chemical Society, held in Cleveland, Ohio, recently.
Other members of the chemistry department who attended the meeting were A. W. Davidson, Calvin Vander Werf, and Frank E. Jirik.
Products containing starch can be hydrolized to sugar and fermented to alcohol. The alcohol can then be mixed with gasoline to increase the quantity. The expense of this method makes the older system of obtaining oil from the ground preferable as long as it is possible, however.
One substitute for present-day on has been devised by the Chinese, who use oil extracted from a bean or other vegetable in their Diesel engines.
Spanish Class Gives Skits at El Ateneo
Members of Dr. W.H. Shoemaker's conversational Spanish class presented ten Spanish skits and plays at a meeting of El Ateneo, Spanish club, yesterday. Lonnie Kelley, was master of ceremonies.
Those participating in the skits were: Patricia Harvey, Patricia Williams, Geneva Brown, Lois Miller, Mary Tudor Hanna, and Lonnie Eve Kelley, College juniors; J. Glen Hahn, Helen Hird, Betty Lay, Roberta Frowe, and Jean Kaufmann, College sophomores; and Mrs. Owen Carl, special student.
Coal can also be used as a source of oil and gas, if it should prove necessary. Coal is made up of carbon, which, when combined with hydrogen, is the basis of all gas and oil. In order to hydrogenate it, the coal must be suspended and hydrogen forced in under great pressure. Germany uses this method extensively, and although it is being developed here, we will not need it unless our natural resources are exhausted.
Throughout Kansas there are many natural gas deposits, which when modified by a polymerization process, can be made into gas and oil.
Another possibility is oil shale, which is rock saturated with crude oil. The difficulty lies in the expense of extracting the oil from the oil shale. In this process, the shale is heated to obtain the oil. The supply is apparently inexhaustible.
Students Learn to Register In German Hotels
How to be a hotel guest in Germany was demonstrated to and practiced by members of the German Conversational group which met in Myers hall last night. Students registered as hotel guests and were given floor plans described in German from which they were to make drawings. On the committee arranging the program were Glenn Agee, chairman; and Norma Jean Lutz. German geography and scenes are to be discussed next Wednesday by the group under the leadership of Reva Brown and Bethel Reimer.
